Evaluate a risk score for each request
If you want to evaluate users' risk scores before they sign in to Okta, be sure that you configure the correct MFA requirements.
HealthInsight task recommendation
Configure a rule in your Okta sign-on policy that checks a user's risk score and prompts for MFA accordingly.
| Okta recommends |
Require high-risk users to provide MFA every time they sign in. |
| Security impact | Moderate |
| End-user impact |
Moderate Security policies are evaluated every time a user with medium or high risk levels attempts to access an app. These users must authenticate more frequently. |
